Actually, scratch that, the media now has me brainwashed to think a terrorist or illegal immigrant most likely did it. Black dudes are the least likely to be terrorists or immigrants. Post 9/11, the average black dude is the safest person to be around. Crazy white guys are shooting up schools, bombing marathons, etc. Foreigners are flying planes into building, killing everyone in the US/Mexico border, etc.

Black dudes are just focusing on things like being president. And even the crazy ones are saving women from being kidnapped and locked in basements. Post 2000, black is the new white in mainstream America.

guess the black dude that helped whitey didn't get the memo. He'll figure it out.
on another note, white dude is definitely a meth addict. Those marks on his face are from the detox.

on a side note that a lawyer would love: they are charging the guy that didnt have the gun or knife Adams with attempted homicide?
WTF, a sucker punch with a fist on a mountain of a man gets you an attempted homicide charge?
must be trying to scare this douche into rolling on his homies

Heard those same words, but found a study that refutes this. Violent crime peaks at 11PM and the rate of violent crime at 3AM is equal to the rate at 3PM and is about half the peak at 11PM.

This is the case of statistics LYING.

Because the number of people out and about during the wee hours are a tiny fraction of what it is otherwise.

To explain, there are likely 20 (guestimate) times as many people out at 3pm as 3am.
Yet the crime rate is the same?

So with the same crime rate YOU are much more likely a victim if you happen to be one of the few out late, as oppossed to the masses who are out in the daytime.

11pm intersects the time when there are still lots of people out and the crazies are active. The potential victim pool then begins to drop dramatically.

I bet there are WAY more traffic tickets issued in the daytime as well.
But take it from someone who has worked driving during the graveyard shift, you are about 10 times more likely to get pulled over by a cop because it feels like there is one cop per 10 cars on the road.

Terrorism has finally brought the Kign dream to life.

I have a dream.....that one day my four little children will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their carry-ons!!!!

Same principle.

I bet the highest crime is either lunchtime or after work when the most people are out and about just based on the numbers.

I've noticed the police car thing at night. I think it's just that no one else is out so you notice them. But it does seem like they're like cockroaches after it gets dark.

If Adams would have been killed, it is likely that all 3 would have been charged with felony murder.
